HARTFORD, Conn, June l4.--The
statue Of Nathan Hale, made by au-
thority of the State Of Connecticut to
be placed in the capitol, was this af-
ternoon formally delivered by the com.
mittee to the state. 1t is the work OF
Carl Gebhardt, of Hartford, and is q

represented standing with arms partly
outstretched and in an attitude sug"
gesting his famous words of regret that
he had but one life to give up for his
country. Charles Dudley Watren

committee and presented the statue to
the state. Gov. Lounsberry, in brief
address, accepted the statue on behalf

THAT spirit OF new born enterprise

THAT spirit OF new born enterprise
that has come so conspicuously into
prominence this year all over the
country, and is known by the ex-
pressive term of "boom," is not con-
fining itself to the comparatively
newer towns and cities of that por-
ton of the United States designated
as the west, and located this side of
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.
From exchanges it is learned that
even old fossilized towns are Begin
ming to warm into new life, scrape
off the moss and reach out for some
OF the boom. Figuratively speaking
fresh blood has been hypodermically
let into the systems of the antedilu-
Wan residents OF these ancient viii
lagos, and under the stimulus of a
quicked pulse they are opening their
purse strings and encouraging public
enterprises. Where once the paint
ing OF building was remarkable
stroke of enterprise worthy of an ex.
tended notice in the local paper,
new buildings are in progress; where
formerly coal oil and the tallow
candle furnished all the illumination
required by the most exacting in.
habitant, an electric plant has just
been put in; where the primitive
wooden pump cistern erstwhile
supplied the drinking fluid for the
population, artesian wells are to be
used. and SO on through the scale of
progress.

FRANK FRAYNE's LION.
How 1T Killed n Horse and Seriously
Injured Its Owner.


Frank I. Frayne is the manager of tho
Frayne Theatrical combination, composed of
men, women and wild beasts, which 20 on
the road all winter In tho summer Fraync
takes his menagerie to n thirty acre farm be-
tween the towns of Madison and Chatham, in
the state of New Jersey, as n vacation from
the fatigue of the theatrical season. The car
avan went into its summer quarters fort
night ago, and on recent Monday
Frayne was awakened by terrible rumpus
In the barn. He hurried out half dressed and
plunged into contest with his lion, Old
Duke.
The New York Suns account of what fol-
lowed is the best that has appeared, and we
reproduce 1t substantially:
Old Duke Is a savage brute, and Is said to be the
largest lion in confinement. He had killed two
men, each with blow OF one paw, before Frayne
bought him In Cuba Frayne's first wife, who
died several years ago, as her dying request be.

firmly believed II he did not her husband would
, 1887-06-16

Frayne doesn't know. The brute relaxed his
hold and suffered himself to be pulled
through the opening by the lariat. Then
Frayne pushed the bars into place again. At
this moment Fred Knight, his superintendent,
came running up and the lariat was cut. Frayne
was as white as sheet for an hour.
He attributes his escape to the recollection the
lion had OF several previous occasions when n
lariat was used TO persuade him to remove him
self from one cage to another. When Old Duke
is travelling he rides in q cage so small that he can
hardly turn around, and when he Is to be trans
ferred to the large cage in the barn. he is assoed
and pulled through the opening in the two cages
set together. The old fellow growls every time
he sees lasso in Frayne's hand.
1t was discovered that the cage from which
Old Duke escaped had not been securely fastened
at the hinges. The entire front of the cage,
which ia ten feet long and six feet high, could be
lifted on like door In dwelling. The lion has
habit Of raising himself on his hind legs and
scratching with his fore feet at the top OF the
cage on the side near the hinges. 80 that the
wood is always fresh in color and ragged. In
raising himself up one massive shoulder had
lifted of the iron barred front
Finding himself free, the lion had only to
spring upon the wooden partition that separated
him from his long intended victim, the horse
The horses head was toward him. That the
horse had struggled to escape was plain as was
afterward seen by the broken halter. II was Of
larger size than halters in use ordinarily, and Il
was snapped of smoothly, as II cut by a sudden
blow OF knife blade. The horse had no time to
get out Of the stall. The lion had sprung at his
neck and throttled him in his tracks. Blood had
spouted In streams on the partitions on either
side OF the stall.
Last winter Frayne gave Old Duke the stage
name OF Bob lngersoll. Frayne on the same day
he had the tussle with the lion went to Mount
Clements mineral springs, Mich. not on account
OF his lame arm, but because of rheumatism

THERE seems to be feverish ac-
tlvity in railroad circles this year,
especially in the roads operating in
the western country. The great
trans-continental roads are straining
every nerve to push out feeders from
the main lines in order to secure the
shipping business Of sections hefeto-
fore debarred the benefits OF rail
transportation. Not only are well
settled localities receiving attention
from railroad companies, but lines
are being constructed into compare
lively new fields upon the strength
OF future advantages, development
and expectations. Besides the old
operating roads there are new or.
carnations that are stretching their
iron lengths rapidly toward the Pa
cific laved shores Of the far west
that appear to have no fears of COM
petition with the older rivals that
enjoy the advantages of large subsi-
dies. In all this progressive move
ment the territory generally and this
city In particular should derive
large benefit. Railroad men are not
loquacious. On the contrary they
are confusing from their excessive ST.
lence, and therefore it is next to i'm
possible to speak in any de-
gree Of accuracy OF the ex-
the improvements contemplated
in eastern Washington. 1t Is gen.
orally conceded that both the North
ern Pacific and the o. II. & N, un-
der its new management, are laying
plans for extensive road building,
providing no amicable understand
ing is arrived at in regard to setting
aside certain territory by which a
truce will prevent one or the other
lines from encroaching upon this
reser vation. 1t is the uncertainty
of this railroad building that is hold
ing the public in suspense. How
ever, in the meantime it were we'll
that the people of this city do not
remain idle, awaiting time to un-
ravel the mystery. There IS an
opening for the young board of trade,
that should from its very youthful
ness be infamed with a spirit of en-
terprise, to do some work with the
object of beneftting the city. If
branches are to be built, il extensions
are to be made, from the natural
commercial importance of Spokane
Falls this should be the point for ex-
tensions to touch and branches to
radiate from. Let the board exam
Inc into the subject OF railroad build
Ing and strike blow for the city.

tween the top OF the partition and the hay NOW

barn floor. This was the theatre OF brief but
terrible struggle that morning.
Frayne had bought handsome horse of Clydes.
dale stock for 5000 a few days before and the
horse was tied by leather halter In the stall op-
posite to the lions cage. The horse had been
restless in the stall and had trembled whenever
the lion roared. The lion too had paced up and
down In his cage and peered toward the horse be-
tween the bars OF his cage. When Frayne was
aroused by the rumpus at early dawn he ran to
the barn and listened moment at the door. The
noise had ceased Then he tore open the fasten.
ings, and saw at q glance that the front of the
cage had been thrown open at one end uld the
lion was gone. The next moment he heard the
tearing Of flesh. Looking over the board parti.
tion toward the stalls, he saw Old Duke lying on
the PROSTATE horse and his teeth buried in its
throat. Fraynes determination was taken in an
instant. He stepped quickly to post where he
remembered having left q lariat, took 1t down,
coiled IL, and stepped lightly back to the parti
ton. Old Duke was still feasting. Throwing
back his arm, Frayne said to the lion sternly:
"Dukem
The animal raised his head and glared, but he
Gid not move. II was the critical moment and
Frayne flung the rope dexterously around Old
Dukes head and pulled IL taut. Immediately he
carried the end of the lariat to the lions cage
passed IL through tne opening through which the
lion had escaped, and around three upright iron
bars. He then pulled on the lariat with the slip

cord urging him toward the cage Old Duke left
the horse slowly, growing and roaring ns he
went. When he would stop Frayne would com.
mand and pull harder, and Old Duke would suffer
himself to be dragged further. Frayne kept as
close to the cage a. possible and as far away as
he could from the opening through which tho
lion had escaped yet Old Duke could have sprung
upon him at any time while Frayne was working
him toward the opening in the cage.
